While it might feel like I just published a piece about the five things Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin need to prioritize this offseason, that was really only 22 days ago. I know. I checked the date too.
Let’s just say a lot has happened since then. At the time, many Ole Miss fans seemed to think the sky was falling. Jeff Lebby and DJ Durkin, both coordinators for the Rebels, had just left for jobs that, while not lateral, weren’t tremendous leaps up the coaching ladder. Kevin Smith, the running backs coach who followed Kiffin from FAU, had bolted for Miami.
